Democrats ready to fight new war plan
Wash. Times ^ | 1/11/07 | Jon Ward

Posted on 01/10/2007 11:35:43 PM PST by pissant

Democrats yesterday attacked President Bush's new plan to send more U.S. troops to Iraq and began laying the groundwork for a showdown between the executive and legislative branches over war powers.

"Escalation of this war is not the change the American people called for in the last election," Democratic Whip Sen. Richard J. Durbin of Illinois said last night in his party's response to Mr. Bush's prime-time presentation of his Iraq strategy changes.

"Instead of a new direction, the president's plan moves the American commitment in Iraq in the wrong direction."

The new Democratic-led Congress plans to grill Bush administration officials during Capitol Hill hearings on the Iraq war -- beginning this morning when Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates testify before congressional committees.

Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, said Americans want to know whether Mr. Bush's strategy is a "change of course."

"Or is this simply more of the same with slightly different rhetoric?" Mr. Schumer said.

Miss Rice will testify before the Senate and House foreign relations committees today, and Mr. Gates, who replaced the war's architect Donald H. Rumsfeld last month, will testify before the House Armed Services Committee today and the Senate Armed Services Committee tomorrow.

To a Democrat, the only thing WINNABLE is the next election, by hook or crook.

I have yet to hear any of the anti-liberty left state any position other than cut and run, or, as they like to phrase it, "responsible redeployment."

Makes me wonder, if they succeed, will they let our troops fight the animals once they are here on our streets?

I think the Dems are taking a knife to a gunfight. They're making a lot of noise but they still only have a knife.

I suggest we trade the democrat leadership to the terrorists for a used AK47 and a tub of hummus.

"Escalation of this war is not the change the American people called for in the last election




I'm so sick and tired of calling this much needed change of tactics escalation of the war. Like we're mobilizing huge divisions. These a$$holes always have their buzzwords and the MSM keep pounding the doom and gloom drums to the hordes of those Americans that will not take the 10 minutes or so to go beyond the sound bites and solemn/glum faces of the lib whacko "news" hacks and seek the truth.

Geez people wake the hell up.

These Dems would be calling for escalation if Bush said he was reducing the number of troops.

Face it Dems/Libs you DON NOT HAVE A FRIGGIN PLAN. YOU NEVER HAVE.

If I didn't love my fellow Brothers in Arms and my country so much, I would just say, let the Democrats pull the troops out. It would serve them right, having the Americans who no longer support our President and this country, suffer the consequences of having the terrorist attacks move into their own back yard.

The only problem is, it is also my back yard, so I'll have to keep fighting two enemies, the terrorists and the Democrats.

The Dems would rave about the jobs and economy boosts for all American.....building Mc Mosques, Mc Muslim only communities like in Saudi...the Americans will live behind the wall in the compounds and the rest will be Muslim only zones.

Bush needs to work at light speed before he leaves office to see that the Dims cannot undo all he work that has been done to keep America Free.

(Disclaimer--long withheld rant follows)You know, I've tried to be "civil" for the last 5 years or so, since the DemocRATs have decided to undermine America simply because they can't allow (the Devil)Bush to have victory associated with him(he stole the election, you know).

Well, I have, as of today, officially had it. Moderator, you may wish to edit or zot me here-- DemocRATS and liberals: Kiss my ***. You ******* are the same ******** that are responsible for the deaths of the hundreds of thousands that we abandoned in Vietnam. You perpetuate the legacy of Stalin, and dare I say, Hitler, and your names will be recorded in History as the most powerful COWARDS in history. You are despicable, and I pray for the day that the average, decent Americans see you for the piece of dog**** that you are and scrape you off their figurative shoes. Screw you, you anti-American, anti-military, traitorous pieces of filth. I pray for the day charges of sedition are once again pursued against our domestic enemies. I want you jailed, deported, hanged and harrassed.

Truly,

RedQuill

You got it right.

As long as the sheep keep getting their SS checks, and continue to watch Channel 5 News, we are facing a formidable enemy, because they constitute a massive voting block.

It is sad that we (generally) care about posterity more than do our parents and grandparents.

They are hardly "the greatest generation" at all. The best of their generation apparently were killed in wars for Freedom, and we are never going to hear the end of it, until they also go by the wayside.

Social Security, and Democrat politics are an abomination, and a disgrace to this great Nation.
